In this story, it will be a back in forth letter to and from a inmate in prison on death row, and his baby mother which he loves. It's deep and dark, but I think it's honest to what a person in that situation would go through, or at least what I would be thinking at least.
I know that there are clear spelling errors, there will be many. It's making a point to who is in this situation, where there from and why this is happening to them. It's very poetic, i guess. So it may sound a little odd reading it..
Here's the beginning first letter.
Dear sweetie,
How’s ya moma, I’m trapped in this hell, isn’t this a horrid karma. Ya it’s rough down here with the cages busting. and there terror is evidence by the man last week shanked in the office, I can’t live in this tear. I’m about to bust. I can’t live in this prison of animalistic toughs. I hope you hear me, no I hope you listen when I say, my step father raped me in the kitchen midday. I don’t lie now, I’m dieing at 21. Tell my moma I love her and she’s my sun. There’s no tears sweetie, so I hope you don’t shed them, this is a life wasted from a damn pistol set-up. There’s no way your wasting 50g’s just to give me parole before I leave, it’s a waste and you know it, I’m a lost cause no evidence is needed to show it. But the wind blows harder when my ashes will rest, the summer days flee at my last spoke breath, the fall leaves glimmer in my dying wishes, and the spring rains cry in grief at the fact I‘m missin, and the seasons represent my circle of life, that I’ll evolve into my son in perfect delight. I hope you hear the pain underneath the mask, I love you, keep my baby away from my past.

Yes, it is good to write without initially worrying about errors anyhow. I said it in class today: the only way to write well is to keep writing. I am glad you are doing this.
